Book of the Month has returned to 217 for the 2017-18 school year! Book of the Month is a yearlong project that aims to build community and positive school culture. Each classroom will receive a gift of a new book every month for their library as a beginning to discussions and exercises in supporting positive behavior. Classes will have guest readers including middle school students and Principal Beckman.​This month's book is Two by Kathryn Otoshi. Otoshi’s story discusses a struggle between two best friends, and suggests that heroic action isn’t always something that can be seen - it’s something that happens inside. The teachers and students used this book as a starting point to discuss respect and friendship. Please continue the conversation at home!
